Of course with hints on how to spend the budget more wisely and pointing out alternative destinations within the country that do not follow this policy.</p><p>B) Unsatisfying situations with public transport providers in holiday destinations such as Phuket, Koh Chang, Koh Samui, Pattaya etc.</p><p>C) Trick theft whilst storing luggage in the bellies of buses &amp; boats as well as in &quot;public storage sites&quot; such as Hua Lamphong station.</p><p>D) Lack of transparency in regards of ticket related issues to the traveler and common scams with so called &quot;joint tickets&quot;</p><p>Please don't get me wrong, but above mentioned issues are or have been a bothering reality that disturbs travelers much and care in part for a negative touch to Thailand's image in the travelers society. Although 90 % of all my previous essays, reports and features did cover rather positive aspects of this great country - I would like to understand the philosophy behind this site and would appreciate it much, if the reality won't be disregarded, should it concern traveler related issues.</p><p>Best regards</p><p>Frank</p>
